Description 
                    Care of the neonate is one of the most dynamic and rapidly changing areas of medicine, with rapid advances in the interventions available for these vulnerable patients. Robertons Textbook of Neonatology, 4th edition  represents the state of the art on neonatal care, providing not only detailed pathophysiology and clinical chapters on every condition of the neonate but also comprehensive chapters on the psychosocial aspects of neonatology such as handling perinatal death and ethical and legal aspects of neonatal care. Outcome measurements are paramount in this field, and a chapter is dedicated to neurodevelopmental outcome. Contributions from Fetal Medicine experts and Obstetricians provide valuable peripheral information essential to the practice of neonatology.   Robertons Textbook of Neonatology, 4th edition is the gold standard for neonatal care and will be an invaluable tool for everyone involved in the care of the neonate and its mother.
